High-risk processing

Built for high-risk RUO companies

Research use only (RUO) businesses are often labeled high risk and turned away by traditional processors. BBWholesale was built specifically to process payments for them.

Traditional processors
  • Long underwriting, frequent declines for RUO products
  • Accounts reviewed, frozen or closed with little warning
  • Payouts that take days to reach your bank
  • Support that doesn't understand the RUO market
BBWholesale
  • High-risk RUO merchants are who we serve, not an exception
  • Same-day approval and setup within a few hours
  • Funds in your Polygon wallet in stablecoins within minutes
  • Support and compliance updates from a team that knows RUO
How it works

Card on the front end. Crypto on the back end.

Your customers use the payment apps they already have. You get your money within minutes, not the days a traditional bank payout takes.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you work with high-risk RUO companies?

Yes. That's who we built BBWholesale for. Research use only (RUO) businesses are often declined or dropped by traditional processors, and our processing is set up specifically to serve them.

I've been declined or shut down by another processor. Can I still apply?

Yes, you can apply. Being declined elsewhere doesn't rule you out. Book a consult and tell us about your business, and we'll give you an approval decision the same day.

How do my customers pay?

Customers pay with their debit or credit card through PayPal, Cash App or Venmo, the apps many of them already use every day.

How do I get paid?

You get paid in stablecoins sent to your wallet on the Polygon network. Stablecoins are pegged to the US dollar, so you avoid typical crypto price swings.

How fast do I receive my funds?

Within minutes. Once a customer's payment goes through, the stablecoins are sent to your Polygon wallet within minutes, not the days a typical bank payout takes.

How fast is approval?

Approval happens the same day. Once you're approved, we can usually get your setup finished within a few hours.

What does it cost?

There's a $100 monthly network fee and 4% per transaction. Use the calculator above to estimate your monthly cost.

Does it work with my website?

If you use WooCommerce, install our plugin. For anything else, our custom website APIs connect to your checkout. Not sure which fits? Book a consult and we'll walk you through it.

How do I reach support?

Our team is easy to reach. Merchants get direct access to support for setup, integration and account questions.
